A sight for a thousand years! This ancient temple from the Jin Dynasty in Ningbo really amazed me

Ayuwang Temple, a thousand-year-old temple that doesn't require a ticket! And there's free vegetarian food!!! - Founded in the Western Jin Dynasty, it has a history of more than 1700 years and is the only existing Buddhist ancient temple in China named after the Indian King Ashoka. The temple is very quiet, and traces of history can be seen everywhere. - Before entering the temple gate, I was already shocked by the stone lion pillars at the entrance, which were also engraved with scriptures. The temple is full of greenery, and there are many carp and turtles in the pond in the temple. Walking inside, the whole person will calm down. It is a holy place to purify the soul and is very suitable for relaxation. - The Ayuwang Temple also treasures the real body relics and relic pagoda of Shakyamuni, which has a very high status in Buddhist temples. - ⏰Opening hours: 7:00-16:00 Free admission - 🏠Address: Under Huading Peak, Baodang Taibai Mountain, Wuxiang Town, Yinzhou District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province - 🚇Transportation: Get off at Baodang Road on Metro Line 1 and walk one kilometer straight. - 🍚The temple provides free vegetarian meals at noon (11:00~13:00). Don't waste it. - 📖Tips 1、Wear long pants in summer, there are many mosquitoes. 2、There is free incense available in the main hall, or you can buy it outside the temple. 3、It is not recommended for girls to wear short skirts to the temple. 4、There are many carp and turtles in the temple, and you can see others feeding them.
